Dave would lose a DO against any of the others.
But Sophie v Fiona?? Dunno
I don't want Mark in the dance off yet except if it's against Dave he will be ok I think. I have a feeling it won't be both of them in the bottom 2 though
Its time to start getting serious about the competition, 6 weeks in. The novelty acts should be leaving, last week being an example with Deborah, who was improving.
I really hope Mark goes soon - I just can't stand his cringeworthy "comedy" performances, all of which seem to involve him wearing some hideous, ridiculously tight costume. I'm pleased to see he is finally at the bottom end of the scoreboard where he belongs, and hope his time on the show is nearly at an end!
it does seem to be the same thing with Dave and Karen each week with the slapping each other's hands as they dance. Unless I'm missing something, is that supposed to be part of a dance routine?
I like him, but think it's certainly Dave's time. I'm a bit worried about Rachel, she was so much better and graceful, but once again the song was dreadful and that singer, well it sounded more like he was gargling TCP!
It's actually pretty rare for the bottom two on the leaderboard to be in the dance off until far later in the competition where there are fewer couples and fewer permutations.
Dave and Mark are, imo, trying as hard as their ability allows them to. If the public vote them back in again then that's all fair in terms of how the show has been set up from the start. In fact, it's really become more weighted towards the dancing considering the judges were given an extra say a long while ago with the inclusion of the dance off.
Dave is definitely the worst one left but I'd find it hard to hold it against him - he's not forcing people to vote for him after all.
Ironically in a way Dave's was marginally the lesser offense as there was more Jive in Dave's Jive than there was Paso in Mark's Paso, which comprised predominantly of stamping and 5th rate 'comedy' Saturday Night Fever moves.
In my opinion Mark and Dave are in different leagues.
I didn't like tonight's spaceman routine but unfortunately that is the consequence of shoe horning speciality nights like Halloween etc, into the series. But he shaped the aerial stuff well, he was on time and rhythmical and did some well executed recognisable steps. Unfortunately his age and rotund shape is always going to be a problem and makes him seem worse than he actually is. He doesn't look like a dancer so I think the tendency is to rubbish him a bit too readily.
He's not brilliant but he is competent by the standards of the show and on a par with say Rachel and Fiona and light years ahead of Dave.
